If you're eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and bypass the narrative cutscenes, you're in luck. This latest installment in the beloved series offers a compelling story with well-crafted characters, but for those who are all about the hunt, here's how you can skip the cutscenes and get to the thrill of the chase.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

When those cutscenes start to feel a bit too lengthy, you can easily skip them. Simply hold the Y key on your keyboard or the back button on your controller for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene, and the game will display the required input in the top-right corner of your screen.

It's also worth mentioning that you have the option to pause cutscenes while they're playing. This feature is perfect if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. Although many cutscenes in previous *Monster Hunter* games might have felt unnecessary, the ones in *Wilds* are integral to the story. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.

On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can rewatch them through the in-game menu. This allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your own pace, even if it might make the story feel a bit disjointed. Some of the monster introductions in *Wilds* are truly spectacular, making it worthwhile to revisit them, perhaps to capture a screenshot of your new favorite beast as it makes its grand entrance.
